The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

“We can control even more forms.” Professor Ye raised an eyebrow and pulled with both hands.

Ten delicate gold threads appeared at the fingertips.

Then he brought his hands together, and the golden threads fused together flexibly, forming a whip of light that cleaved vertically downwards.

boom!

The water was split in two from his feet to the surface ten meters away, creating a spray of water everywhere.

"It's still possible."

Professor Ye blinked.

Countless golden rays converged on his body.

In the blink of an eye, it formed a golden suit of armor.

He reached out and made a grasping motion.

Golden light gathered in his hand into a light spear and a light shield.

"The controllability has also improved... although it's still quite raw." Professor Ye withdrew his hand, feeling the energy consumed within his body. "The energy consumption also seems to be greater than before."

This scene left Xu Ming completely stunned.

Even Han Ning was extremely envious.

It must be said that Professor Ye's ability is truly outstanding.

Putting aside strength and the scene Xu Ming just displayed, the visual effect alone made him seem like a Trisolaran or a primitive man.

At the same time, Han Ning was overjoyed.

Having such a capable Awakened One under one's command is like adding wings to a tiger.

"Professor Ye, congratulations!" The two offered their congratulations at the opportune moment.

……

It was late at night.

On the rooftop of an office building on the outskirts of the Yung Valley Business District.

Two men stood in the empty room, staring idly at the water below.

"Brother Yu, how long do you think we'll have to live like this, constantly living in fear? I'm almost depressed."

The speaker was a young man with dyed yellow hair, speaking Mandarin with a heavy local accent.

As an outsider, Brother Yu had a hard time understanding the accent, until the other person repeated it again, at which point he said earnestly:

"Young people must be able to endure loneliness. Do you know what era we are in now? It is a period of arduous pioneering and opening up new frontiers!"

"You have to thank Mr. Han and Chairman Wu for surviving, otherwise we would have become the black snake's excrement long ago."

As he spoke, he looked the young man up and down, noting his fairly strong physique, and said with a smile:

"Ah Cai, once you become a master at the vice president level, your chances of survival will be much higher. Keep it up."

"And it's relatively safe now. Once we've completely stabilized and the settlement has absorbed more survivors, as Awakened, we'll definitely have meat with every meal, and some beautiful women will be chasing after us. Apart from the lack of entertainment facilities, isn't it better than staying in modern society?"

"What's the point of women? I want to play video games, I want to play Dota, I want to play Delta Force, I want to build six sets of Aggro!"

"What six-set attack? Never heard of it. Wu Tao's attack, though, might have a chance." As a middle-aged man who doesn't play games, Brother Yu didn't understand what Ah Cai was talking about.

"I really want to play games..." Ah Cai sighed softly, looking dejected.

"You good-for-nothing." Brother Yu sneered.

Ah Cai looked up at the water surface in the distance, where splashes of water were being picked up. He was already fantasizing about dominating the game and winning the heart of a cute anime girl.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched.

I vaguely saw a dark shadow flash by.

"Brother Yu, what's that?"

------

Yesterday's and today's are still there.

Chapter 136 The Snake Swarm Approaches

Ah Cai is an Awakened One who has only recently awakened.

His ability is similar to "super vision," allowing him to see further through rain and darkness to a certain extent.

"What?" Brother Yu, who was standing next to Cai, didn't have Cai's eyesight and asked in confusion.

Ah Cai didn't answer, wanting to verify that he had seen correctly.

He picked up the binoculars and looked closely.

Then, his body stiffened, and he almost dropped the binoculars.

Under the cover of night, countless black serpent monsters twisted their bodies, breaking through the water's surface like a black torrent, surging towards the office buildings of the Yung Valley Business District and further north from the west and south.

"Hiss..." Ah Cai gasped, his voice trembling uncontrollably, and said urgently to Brother Yu beside him, "Brother Yu, it's the Black Serpent Monster! The Black Serpent Monster horde is active on a large scale!"

"I understand." Brother Yu nodded seriously.

He picked up Ah Cai, turned around, and leaped into the office building where Chairman Wu and the others were. A pair of huge insect wings appeared on his body.

The insect's wings tore through the rain, carrying the two of them to their destination.

Inside the office building.

"Warning! Warning! The Black Serpent Monster has invaded the outskirts of the Cloud Valley Business District..."

Brother Yu rushed into the building, running and shouting as he went.

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! A large number of black serpent monsters have invaded! All personnel, go on high alert!"

Suddenly, a series of piercing shouts echoed throughout the office building.

Within seconds of the shout being uttered, various lights suddenly illuminated the dark building.

"Emergency assembly, emergency assembly!"

The sound of rustling footsteps came from all directions.

...

On the fifth floor of the office building, there are areas where rooms have been temporarily converted into bedrooms.

Almost at the same time the shouts rang out.

Chairman Wu, Vice Chairman Zhao, and a group of awakened individuals, who were in a dream, suddenly opened their eyes.

Everyone rushed out of the room without even having time to get dressed.

When he came downstairs, several of his companions who were still awake had already gathered there.

"The Black Serpent has invaded?"

"You guys, gather the ordinary people together and head towards the pre-arranged evacuation route."

In case of an attack by the black snake or other monsters, Chairman Wu and others had made preparations in advance and devised the fastest route to the North District.

"Old Zhao, Qianqian, A Long, let's go take a look ahead."

Chairman Wu looked at the somewhat chaotic hall, tried to calm himself down, and issued instructions in a very short time.

Ah Long nodded, then turned to the Awakened One beside him and said, "Xiao Kai, you go and organize the ordinary survivors. I'll stay here."

“Brother Long, I’ll stay and help you.” The young man named Xiao Kai stepped forward.

"Do not be silly!"

Ah Long turned his head to the side and listened carefully.

“I heard the sound of rapid, turbulent water; there were at least several thousand black snakes nearby.”

He is a water-element awakener and is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in water flow.

"Thousands?!"

Upon hearing Ah Long's words, everyone's expression turned extremely serious.

Even before, they had never seen so many black snakes.

"Black Snake, Black Snake is here?!"

During the rapid exchange among the group.

A steady stream of ordinary survivors, their faces filled with terror, rushed out of their homes like madmen.

"Don't panic! The black serpent monster hasn't found this place yet. Everyone, evacuate to the escape route in an orderly manner. We will stay with you."

Chairman Wu roared, his voice drowning out all the other shouts.

A brief and eerie silence fell over the hall.

Everyone looked at Chairman Wu and several vice-chairmen who stood on the table like iron towers.

The tension on his face eased slightly.

They lined up one by one and evacuated in an orderly manner under the guidance of the other awakened individuals.

"Don't worry, the snakes don't seem to have noticed us."

At this moment, Han Ning emerged from the darkness, stood by the window, and gazed into the distance.

"Mr. Han, what do you mean?" Vice President Zhao was a little unsure.

Han Ning's powerful mental energy had already sensed the snakes moving nearby.

However, he discovered that the snakes' movement patterns did not have a precise target, such as their office building.

Instead, it only moves in one general direction, roughly towards the northwest.

There was no swarm of snakes rushing straight into the building with them alone among the hundreds of office buildings.

They just happened to be in the direction the snakes were moving.

"They are not acting on a large scale because of us; there may be other reasons."
